When Rainwater Becomes a Basement Guest

Is Rainwater Becoming an Issue?

Although the temperature outside is heating up, we are still in the season of rain and flooding. This means that your home is not entirely in the clear of basement flooding caused from excess rainwater and an unsealed foundation. And once rainwater makes its way to being an unwanted guest in your basement, it can be difficult to mediate all on your own. At Fire Water response, we are here to help deal with the clean-up, as well as get through any resulting issues and steps you may need to take.

Contact Your Insurance Company

When water damage strikes, it causes major issues in many areas. From ridding of the excess water itself, to fixing things afterward and paying for those fixes can be a heavy matter. That is why documenting the damage and contacting your insurance company is important. After you take pictures of all the damage, as evidence, your insurance company will be able to assess the total costs needed to resource your claim. Without evidence of the flood, insurance companies could fail to fund the full extent of damage, or perhaps deny your claim altogether.
